Revenge...Until Her

I sat on the edge of an opulent bed, surrounded by luxury that felt more like a cage than comfort.
So it finally happened.
The very thing I fought with everything in me to stop...
and the very thing he was willing to claim at any cost.
I never imagined my life would change like this.
That in a single night, everything I knew would shatter.
Slowly, I lifted my trembling hand. The bridal henna on my skin had already begun to darken, its intricate patterns mocking the fate written into them. The bridal lehenga draped over me was unbearably heavy... yet it was nothing compared to the crushing weight pressing against my heart.

In the span of a single moment, my destiny had changed.
Or perhaps... it had been destroyed.The man I hated the most. The man who treated my life like nothing more than a game, a toy he could break whenever he wished...
He was now my husband. And how pathetic I was... that I couldn't stop him.

No,not just weak, a fool.A fool who had walked straight into the trap he had laid with such terrifying patience.
The silence in the room thickened until suddenly-

The door creaked open.My breath caught in my throat.
Because standing there... in the dim light of the doorway... was the very nightmare I had tried to escape.

Abhimaan Rajvansh.
His dark eyes locked onto mine, slow and deliberate, as if he had all the time in the world to watch me break.
A faint, unsettling smile curved on his lips as he stepped closer.
Then he spoke, his voice low... calm... almost amused.

"Welcome," he murmured softly, his gaze burning into mine,
"to your new life... and to your new hell."

He paused just long enough for my heartbeat to spiral out of control.
"Welcome, Mrs. Rivanshi Abhimaan Rajvansh."
